I have a weird issue with the phone- I have not decided yet if its problem with hardware or software.
At the first step, without change nothing, Suddenly a sharp drop at signal strength began. few days after, my phone stop connect to network at all. In the "operator select" screen, my operator appear but I get error "selected network unavailable".
I tried factory reset without succes. The only thing that worked was sbf to stock- but the signal still low and again, after few days, the connection lost.
I'm using gsm in israel- Already tried many rom's, so can't use warranty.
Maybe there something I can try before I give up?
Do you have better signal with some other phone?
Try another simcard.
Did you flash any radio as you wanted to do some days ago? Not all the SBFs change your radio, and maybe a bad radio is installed on your phone.
בבקשה ממך אל תענה לי בשבת. כניסת שבת בשבע ודקה ויציאת שבת בשמונה.
I asked about the other radio because this problem, but I didn't got a sure answer so I left the idea. I tried other sim but the problem didn't gone. And others phones works well at same place where the Photon doesn't. I ordered new sim from different operator- I will report after.
In case I want flash radio without full sbf, is it possible? Can I save my data without all the backups methods?

You can try KKDI radio here.
There are also 2 radios listed here, but ask someone with experience (like peetr_) before you try one of them. If you flash one, make sure it's the one for your build.
שבוע טוב!

afternoon all, bit of a newbie here but will try and get my problem accross.
I have an orange M3100 with whatever rom that comes with as standard, to make it except a t mobile sim i used the free unlocker from here, version 2. this all worked fine until 2 months later my phone locked up on me and i had to hard reset. this went ok until when it was loading the rom. it got to the orange2006.tsk and always froze. after many many attempts i noticed on the boot screen it said NO GSM. i looked around here and realised i had a corrupt radio or no radio at all. confused i downloaded the radio only 1.35 and installed. finally success my phone loaded the rom which by now i had the xda live 0.20 and the radio worked fine. the problems i am having now are that whenever the phone looses signal, it won't in the conventional sense try and search or show the icon saying no signal. it just shows the last known signal strength before it was lost and then when i do want to make a call or send an sms it says "Phone operation failed" and looses signal and then tries to lock on again. this is extremely annoying as my girlfriend has reminded me on many occassions when trying to contact me, she just cannot get through. it gives her a dead tone.
i have tried flashing the device with the proper orange rom off the site thats from romania or somewhere to get an offical orange radio rom on again and then i flashed to xda live 0.20 and its still doing it.
is my radio just buggered or is there a simple flash solution i can do to fix it.
the phone is currently using XDA live 0.20 with radio 1.35.00.11 and bootloader 1.4 super CID (i think, as i can load any rom on it)
also to point out the phone never did this loosing signal and not changing thing before i had to hard reset.
thanks all and sorry for the long post.
it seems the problems seem to stem from Edge here in the uk on orange. i never saw the E icon before i upgraded the radio shack and now its coming up and errors. i never get the hanging problem with that.
anyone suggest anything? as i know edge is faster gprs i dont think i can disable it
thanks all
Consider changing your radio
I would start by changing to an older stable radio, perhaps 1.27. 1.27 is a very stable radio (in my experience), and it seems very tolerant. If that does not help, I would try to upgrade to the latest radio, 1.38. I am using it with the WM VI Black Ed. ROM without any problems here in the United States.
Good Luck! (Gotta keep the girl friend happy!)
Hi i would really appreciate if any one can help me.
i had no problem with my phone till today. Today i was using igo8 and i minimized it to make a call. but the call dint go through. and since after that i could not make or receive any calls.
The problem is i cannot get signal in my phone. i am able to connect to wifi, bluetooth and gps but no gsm signal.
i have Elegancia v10.0 rom and radio version 2.10.50.
I tried changing the radio but it doent help.
thank you for reading this post.
Has the phone turned the radio off?? by anychance?
have you tried a soft reset maybe a hard reset is on the way
thank you for the reply.
Yes i performed soft and hard reset. flash stock rom and stock radio. but still no signal. i tried to use it on android but still no signal. i dont know whats wrong with it.
Hey guys. I'm a Vodafone TR user lately. I was happily using my HD2 for two weeks until one morning I found out that there was no connection. I tried both soft and hard reset. My phone was not imported by the distributer so I made the IMEI no recorded. (For info, in Turkey, if the IMEI no is not recorded in the national GSM system, the phone will be blocked in a few days). But it is not working again. So this evening I tried to use my wife's SIM card which belongs to another GSM operator-TR TURKCELL. What a surprise! It is working very well. Weird huh?
So what I am doing wrong?
ROM is 1.43.405.1
Radio is 2.04.50.22_2
Hello all,
I have had no data connection in the last few days. solid signal, but no data. i have done almost everything i can do and still the same result. switched back to Rev.A and i can get 3g "ok", not sure whats up. Any suggestions? I also reflashed the Mr2 radio and no change.
Another thought is my SIM card might have taken a dump. Id be willing to take it into verizon and get a new sim but dont want to unroot, revert to stock. got way to much going on with my phone to just start from scratch again : ( just so i can "try" if a new SIM would work. what would happen if i took my rooted thunderbolt into a verizon store for a new SIM card?. Would they Deny me service?or put a note on my account stating i have rooted and voided my warranty?. Just curious as to what would happen. they would deffidently notice right off the bat because of my sense 3.0 rom, kernal, gingerbread, signal icons,lock ring,signal bars, spash screen, boot animation and sound, etc...
need help guys! thanks in advance! : )
Well I know you said you don't want to but just make a nandroid backup before you unroot and stick it on your pc for safe keeping. Then when you are re-rooted just wipe everything and restore the backup and you are EXACTLY where you were before. Plus with Revolutionary re-rooting takes all of 5-10 minutes.
Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt
Talk to the guys there. Get a feel for them... The guys at the shops near me couldn't care less about a rooted device. As long as the software isn't the issue, which a bum SIM shouldn't be, they shouldn't really care. I'd feel them out a bit before assuming unrooting is a must. You might get lucky.
I will send this thread up. This is exactly the problem I am experiencing. The Thunderbolt has perfectly good network signal but data connection is not working. It complains about "SIM card not found" when entering the Settings and APNs. The SIM card is detected by the device otherwise, it's possible to save contacts to it and retrieve them. But 4G data is completely dead.
I visited a VZW store yesterday and received a new SIM card but the problem is still there. I have also tried to reflash to the latest leaked radio without any solution.
The ROM used is the latest Synergy Nightly.
I begin to consider the possibility of restoring the Thunderbolt back to stock and get a replacement but it would be good if this problem can be solved.

Hello all,
To put my issue simply, I am receiving the "Not registered on network" error on my phone. I have tried many things to resolve it and to help narrow down the possible problems, I will explain my situation and what steps I have taken to try to resolve it. I appreciate you taking the time to read my detailed explanation in advance, as I wish to be as clear and informative as possible.
My phone is an unlocked Australian Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300). I bought it about 6 months ago and about two months ago had some issues with the display come out of the blue. I was able to get this issue resolved through my warranty. When I received the phone back though, I thought it was all working fine but then I noticed I couldn't send SMSs or make calls as my phone wouldn't connect to my phone network (Vodafone). I tried reboots, hard reboots, restoring backups, using a different SIM card (from a different carrier) and I still couldn't get it to work.
During this process of trying to fix it myself, I rooted the phone. So when I realised I couldn't fix it and it could possibly be a hardware issue, I sent it back to be fixed under warranty. Unfortunately my warranty was voided when I rooted the phone, even though it was broken before I rooted it.
So a few days ago I received my phone back again and spent about 6 hours trying to fix it. Here's what I tried...
I tried to flash the latest Australian firmware (XSA) which is the same as the one I initially had when I purchased the phone. I tried factory resets, different firmware flashes, custom ROMs, different modems etc. None of this worked. I thought I had found my solution when I stumbled across ARIZA's patch, but event this did not solve my problem.
The really strange thing is I can occasionally connect to the network and if I try repeatedly, I can sometimes get an SMS to send. I've checked my SIM is clean (I've tried another SIM anyway) and everything seems fine.
My IMEI number is still intact and isn't blacklisted. I've tried restoring backups from when it was working (before I got it "fixed" the first time) and that's not worked. The current status of my phone is:
ROM: Omega v5.0
Version: 4.2.2
Baseband: I9300XELLA
Network: vodafone AU (sometimes shows as Unknown)
Mobile Network State showing as "Disconnected", except in rare moments
IMEI and Serial intact
I've tried all I can think of and all the suggestions I can find on the Internet. I'm hoping someone here will have some suggestions for things I can try. I'd really like to fix this issue as I've been without my phone for months. I'm thinking it could be a hardware issue, but want to make sure I've exhausted all options I can try myself first before trying to get a place to repair it. As my warranty is void, I'm not sure how easy this will be.
Thanks in advance for your time and suggestions,
Jay.

Return to a stock rom and use triangle away to reset the counter, retry with your provider, they may let it slide that you've previously tried.
It would appear that you've already tried everything.
Return to stock and update via OTA, remove root, remember to use triangle away, I personally haven't had to do it but i would imagine that it needs root privileges to complete so thinking about it i would say to use triangle away first.
Hope you get it sorted.

Hey,
Thanks for the quick response.
I doubt they would let it slide as I had a pretty long back and forth with them trying to get them to fix the phone or at least send it back to me without charging me for the shipping costs and that didn't end in my favour. I'm sure they'd remember that they already rejected it due to it being modified and would just blame the rooting for the issues.
I'm thinking I might just reset it all to stock, reset the counter and at least ask. If not, I'll try to find a repair shop who will take a look. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm still open to any other ideas people might have which I can try from my end.
Thanks,
Jay.
Starting point would be correct firmware modem and CSC for your location and network .
Flash your original rom .

Hey,
Thanks for the suggestion. I believe I have tried this by downloading the latest firmware from SamMobile and flashing that through Odin, but I haven't tried it through Keis, so I guess I'll give that a go.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks,
Jay.
Me too. I've an i9305 (S3 LTE) and i've tried every tutorials on internet and so far nothing: always the same issue "not registered on network". In case you solve the issue please let me know. I'll do the same. Txs
I've tried to connect my phone using Keis and it just seems to say "Connecting..." forever. I've tried running the connection troubleshooter and that just seemed to re-install the drivers but not actually fix the issue. I still can't get Keis to even connect to my phone.
Any ideas on why this would be? Or other suggestions I can try for my initial problem?
Thanks,
Jay.
As an update to this, it seems I've tried everything I can on my end to fix it to no avail. I believe it must be a hardware issue and have dropped it into a phone repair centre. I'm hoping they will be able to find the problem and fix it.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Another update to this, I received a response from the repair centre. They said:
"...we took it all apart and checked all connections and serviced it.
Once we put it back together we tested it with Vodafone and Optus sim cards. Both sims had service and were able to connect to the internet as well."
After I asked for more details on what they did to try and help me determine what the problem was, they said:
"The phone looked 100% fine inside, no signs of water or any other damage. Sometimes electronic devices can be a bit temperamental, maybe the fact that we undone and cleaned all connections it's booted it back to life."
So I'm going to pick it up tomorrow, but it sounds like it's all sorted now. So not it's not 100% clear what the issue was, but to anyone having this same problem who has tried everything like I did, it is likely a hardware issue. Your best bet is probably to try a repair shop (assuming your warranty won't cover the problem).
Thanks to those who offered suggestions and good luck to those with the same problem.
Do please tell us if it worked because i'm tempted to do the same as you did before selling it on ebay as faulty for parts. PLEASE ANSWER US BACK AFTER TESTING IT an entire day. THANK YOU A LOT!
Does it work properly now? Thanks - Please reply.
Not sure if it is exactly the same problem but I remember getting that msg when i was on Telstra and I'd installed a new ROM - I went to the Telstra site and got them to send an activation msg that reset my provider info. It didn't seem to matter for phone calls but I wasn't getting any connection to do with data until I 'ran' the msg they sent.

Txs for help but I don't have the backups of my efs folder... so I think it is useless therefore i am going to sell it on ebay as faulty for parts. Unfortunately! I love my i9305!
You should probably do some more searching on site - there are a number of things to do, including getting a service centre to fix it. Be cheaper than a new phone. Is it an i9300 or ann i9305?

It's a i9305 and I've tried everything, every tutorials on internet without success so far. I am tired of the situation and also very disappointed therefore I think i will sell it as faulty. As it regards to a repair center, near my area it's very difficult to find someone who can fix it.
For me it seems my connection is still intermittent when using my Vodafone SIM on my S3 (and the same for another Vodafone SIM I tried on this phone) whereas both SIMs work fine on other phones.
I then tried a Telstra SIM on my S3 and it worked fine. So it seems I have a weird problem with my phone where the combination of the S3 and Vodafone doesn't work, but other phones or other SIMs do work.
I think I'm just going to try changing carrier (I've been meaning to anyway) since it seems their SIMs work in my phone.
Really not sure what is causing this issue, but I'm at the point where I just want it fixed and I don't really care how. Hope you find out how to solve your issue.
How is your phone right now? Im also having the same problem. It always say 'not registered to network' everytime i make a call. This happens whenever i turn on the flight mode, then turning it off.. i have a strong signal and i can use the internet provided by my network but i cant make a call or text.. people cant also reach my number. I sent this already to samsung service ctr and they changed the board but its still there whenever i access the flight mode..

Hi...the same, no solution so far. I am actually selling it on ebay for parts. I simply gave up.
Was just casually using my Amaze today with the official CM10 I've always had on it, and all of a sudden in the middle of a call the call dropped and the phone restarted. I thought it was just a random reboot as they are nightly builds. After it restarted there all of a sudden was no signal. I was a bit confused as just a minute ago before I started the call I was getting full bars on 4G. I tried rebooting multiple times, changing SIM's (the phone is unlocked), even trying different ROMs. All of them had the same problem. No cellular signal. I tried the *#*#4636#*#* to set the network to WCDMA, however it was always stuck on "unknown". No matter what I changed it too it would always reset back to unknown. Then I finally thought I had to resort to an RUU.
After reflashing the Mobilicity RUU (stock one that came with the phone) on gingerbread, the signal FINALLY worked! I was so relieved and went to download the ICS OTA update so I can start flashing ROM's again. Then all of a sudden in the middle of the update the phone restarted, and when it booted back up again, no signal again. I then went to check for software updates again and just wanted to try downloading it over WiFi. I accidentally clicked the phone info screen instead of software updates and I noticed that the IMEI, IMEI SV, Phone Number and IMSI were all "Unknown". This was really odd. *#06* also brought up an empty IMEI box. Then I clicked software update and it said there were no updates available. What? It just worked a while ago before the signal broke again!
I then pulled the SIM out to run the phone WiFi only until I could figure this out and I noticed that it wouldn't say "No SIM" with no SIM card inserted like it normally would, but would continue to say "No Service" as if there was a SIM but there was just no reception in the area.
I've been trying all day to flash multiple RUU's and the only one that fixes the problem is reflashing factory Mobilicity GB RUU. Then signal works again, however after any restart signal will break again and won't work anymore until another RUU reflash. Is there anything I can do? This is the only phone I have to use and it's driving me nuts! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Please acknowledge that I am not asking for a way to obtain or change my IMEI, as I know that is not allowed. I am asking for a way to fix the No Service issue I've been having.

Now another thing has arises. I try to use it as an iPod/Media player now and just use it connected to WiFi. However the battery dies after about 5 hours of just standby, untouched. It's all because of "Cell Standby" using up battery. It uses up 4 and a half hours of battery and 100% of the time it's without signal. However, even if airplane mode is turned on to disable the cellular radio, it doesn't make any difference to Cell Standby.

I have had this issue twice ... first time it happened maybe 9 months ago and stayed like that for 3 weeks with me constantly flashing and wiping and s-offing no no avail ... one day I pulled out my sim and memory card and when I switched on the device it says "no simcard" it never said that b4 so I switched it off and put back in the sim card and memory card and poof it was suddenly working again...
The first time I recalled not installing anything for months before that event other than one app..... "What's App" I installed what's app and used it fine for 2 weeks and the phone just dropped in the middle of a call and never regained signal.... so I said since that was the only app that I had installed its probably the culprit, so I will never use it again since the phone started working again.
Sadly 7 months later a girl i was talking to kept insisting that I install whats app because she wants to chat more... Against my better judgement I went ahead and did it and it worked for 2 weeks and one morning .... poof "no service" no imei .... and the culprit .....? WHATS APP!!! sadly I have been in this state for a month now with no sign of it fixing itself again... thank you whatsapp... let me know if whatsapp was installed prior to your loss of imei

Actually my Amaze started working again as well! One day around two weeks back all of a sudden it decided to start working again, but I just left it there as I had already bought an Xperia ion to replace it. One day my friend asked if he could borrow it for a week or so, I let him and when I popped his sim in it worked, checked imei, apns, everything was good. However later that day during the lunch hour he took it out and told me there was no signal. First thing I did obviously was check the imei and of course, it had disappeared again. Nothing in window when typing #*06# and in settings imei would say "unknown"
I never used whatsapp before and he doesn't use whatsapp either, it's never been downloaded on the phone so it's not the problem for me. If I reflash GB RUU it will work again and imei will come back BUT only until you reboot, after reboot it will lose imei again. Honestly it seems to have a mind of it's own when it comes to working or not.
I'm Having the same issue right now anyone have any ideas?

Having the same problem too!
Tried removing the sd and sim, rebooting without, reinstalling them, rebooting with, and no luck.
I'm planning to flash the Debloated Stock rom to try that, then I'll try the latest RUU, will report back... (could be a few days)
Debloated stock did not work. Latest ICS RUU did not work. Original, very first, RUU didn't appear to work until I did a restart (without the Sim inserted).
So it's working for now, although it's Gingerbread...

Really? I've tried literally every RUU available for Amaze and still nothing. Before, after flashing a gingerbread RUU the IMEI would work during the first use but would break after restarting. Now when I do any RUU, IMEI won't work under any condition.
